Oddly enough, many books still have Boston favored to win the pennant.

The never have decent odds for long-shots it seems. Every year during the first week of NFL season when I am in Vegas (it is a tradition to be there then), I think about placing a J-E-T-S long-shot bet on the Super Bowl and then I see the odds and go lose my money some other way. I wonder if they changed the oddsmaking on that after the year the bookies were killed by the Rams winning the Super Bowl (was the first year they were good and Vegas took a serious hit on those beginning of the season bets - even offered to pay people out on lower odds if they would take a buyout before the game was played).
